RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 04-25-2019
Daniel Green Burner?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 04-25-2019
Excellent and very logical guess, Eva, but it was not Burner.
Hint #1: It was a New Salem resident who saw Lincoln lift this amazing poundage.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 04-25-2019
So not Bill Green either?
Joseph Gillespie?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 04-25-2019
Nope.
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 04-25-2019
Rowan Herndon ?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 04-25-2019
Congratulations, Gene! Indeed it was Row Herndon, a cousin of William Herndon. It was also Row Herndon who said there were rumors of Lincoln fathering a couple of children during his New Salem years. Row Herndon departed New Salem in 1833 after accidentally (according to him) shooting and killing his wife. Apparently the New Salem residents were fairly evenly divided on whether the killing was accidental or on purpose.
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 04-25-2019
Learn all about it on this years Springfield Tour when we visit New Salem.....
and please do not cross the police tape barrier.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 08-23-2019
This person is not very well known in her own right, but she has several connections to Lincoln scholarship. Who is she? No help from the web, please.

Mary Livermore?
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 08-24-2019
Ruth Painter Randall ?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 08-24-2019
Sorry guys. Both are great guesses, but incorrect. Next clue. She began her study of Lincoln in 1945.

Lilian Steichen Sandburg?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 08-24-2019
Sorry Roger, but it isn't her.

RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 08-24-2019
Next clue. She's buried in Springfield alongside her husband and her husband's first wife.
